Представляемъ вниманію читателей чрезвычайно интересный научный докладъ, посвященный одному изъ самыхъ сложныхъ и дискуссіонныхъ вопросовъ отечественнаго оружіевѣдѣнія — атрибуціи шашекъ Кубанскаго и Терскаго казачьихъ войскъ конца XIX – начала XX столѣтія.
Работа подготовлена исследователями С. В. Талантовымъ (Москва) и Н. А. Оводковымъ (Санктъ-Петербургъ) и представляетъ собою обстоятельный анализъ кавказскаго казачьяго холоднаго оружія дореволюціонной эпохи.
Авторы подробно разсматриваютъ причины, по которымъ атрибуція подобныхъ шашекъ представляетъ значительную трудность даже для опытныхъ коллекціонеровъ и специалистовъ. Среди главныхъ проблемъ называются отсутствіе единаго Высочайше утвержденнаго образца до 1904 года, разнообразіе клинковъ частныхъ производителей, отсутствіе четкихъ войсковыхъ клеймъ и значительная вариативность формъ и размѣровъ оружія.
Особое вниманіе въ докладѣ уделено знаменитымъ:
* шашкамъ образца 1876 года Кубанскаго казачьяго войска;
* шашкамъ образца 1880 года Терскаго казачьяго войска;
* клинкамъ Златоустовской оружейной фабрики;
* частнымъ заказамъ офицеровъ и казаковъ Кавказскаго края.
Въ работѣ подробно объясняется различіе между такъ называемыми «кубанскими» и «терскими» образцами клинковъ, анализируются особенности доловъ, рукоятей, клеймъ и геометріи оружія.
Особенную цѣнность представляетъ анализъ «сложныхъ» экземпляровъ, атрибуція которыхъ въ прежнія годы вызывала многочисленныя споры среди коллекціонеровъ и историковъ оружія.
Докладъ будетъ чрезвычайно интересенъ:
* коллекціонерамъ дореволюціоннаго оружія;
* реконструкторамъ;
* исследователямъ исторіи казачества;
* любителямъ исторіи Кавказа;
* всѣмъ интересующимся военной культурой Россійской Имперіи.
Отдѣльно слѣдуетъ отметить высокій научный уровень работы и большое количество архивныхъ данныхъ, использованныхъ авторами при подготовкѣ изслѣдованія.

On the Attribution of Shashkas of the Caucasian Cossack Hosts of the Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries
We present to our readers an exceptionally interesting scholarly paper devoted to one of the most complex and debated subjects in Russian arms history: the attribution of shashkas of the Kuban and Terek Cossack Hosts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The work was prepared by researchers S. V. Talantov (Moscow) and N. A. Ovodkov (Saint Petersburg) and represents a detailed study of Caucasian Cossack edged weapons of the Imperial Russian period.
The authors carefully examine the reasons why the attribution of such shashkas remains difficult even for experienced collectors and specialists. Among the principal problems are the absence of a single officially approved pattern before 1904, the great diversity of blades produced by private manufacturers, the lack of clear host markings, and the significant variation in dimensions and construction details.
Special attention is devoted to:
* the 1876 pattern shashka of the Kuban Cossack Host;
* the 1880 pattern shashka of the Terek Cossack Host;
* blades produced by the Zlatoust Arms Factory;
* private custom orders for officers and Cossacks of the Caucasus.
The paper explains in detail the distinctions between the so-called “Kuban pattern” and “Terek pattern” blades, analyzing fullers, hilts, markings, and blade geometry.
Particularly valuable is the discussion of several “difficult” examples whose attribution has long been debated among collectors and historians of edged weapons.
The publication will be especially interesting for:
* collectors of Imperial Russian weapons;
* historical reenactors;
* researchers of Cossack history;
* students of Caucasian military culture;
* anyone interested in the military heritage of the Russian Empire.
It is also worth noting the high scholarly level of the research and the extensive use of archival materials employed by the authors.
The full text of the paper is available for download in PDF format.
